Overview
- Toyota released a single-line teaser saying "Something new is on the horizon" alongside an image showing roof rails, an upright stance, and a full-width rear LED lightbar.
- Multiple outlets say the silhouette most likely matches Toyota’s long-rumored three-row electric SUV, possibly a Highlander-branded EV or the bZ5X, though Toyota has not confirmed a name.
- At least one report says sources have ruled out an earlier theory that the teaser depicted a compact pickup aimed at the Ford Maverick.
- Toyota has said it will produce two all-new three-row battery-electric SUVs in the U.S., now assigned to its Kentucky plant with batteries from North Carolina, with production expected to begin in 2026.
- A California reveal event is scheduled for early February, where the model is expected to be shown and key details such as naming and powertrain are likely to be disclosed.
